Gwen Stefani let her hips do the talking on Monday's episode of The Voice.

The 46-year-old singer after a Battle Round duel stole a singer by using her bottom to press her red button.

'I'd love to work with you,' Gwen told singer Riley Bederer after stealing her from Pharrell Williams.

Building her team: Gwen Stefani used a stylish steal on Monday's episode of The Voice on NBC

Riley was available after Pharrell chose Evan McKeel as the Battle Round winner following their duet of Higher Ground by Stevie Wonder.

‘That was dope!’ Adam Levine said as he tried to recreate Gwen's sexy steal move.

Adam had shown his own anger at watching 20-year-old Evan perform, telling him he sang Higher Ground ‘so unbelievably well, quite frankly it p***ed me off, because I can’t do it that well.’

She may be going through a painful divorce, but Gwen Stefani hasn't missed a beat in the fashion department. Sticking to her tried and true quirky personal style, The Voice mentor paired a printed sweater with a polka dot pleated skirt both by Emanuel Ungaro.

We adore the metallic mini and it's figure flattering A-line silhouette. Gwen's bold mixed print ensemble works so well because she stayed in the gold and black color family with her top and bottom.

Feeling envy: Adam Levine told Evan McKeel that he sang Higher Ground incredibly well

Spirited battle: Evan and Riley battled note for note while performing the Stevie Wonder hit

Evan’s coach Pharrell picked him after calling his range 'stratospheric’, and insisted:‘He’s done something that I don’t think we’ve seen before.’

Handsome teenager Chance Peña may have almost got kicked off, but he already has one love-struck fan in pop superstar Gwen.

After the schoolboy sang a beautiful version of The Calling’s Wherever You Will Go along with identical twins Andi & Alex in the battle rounds, Gwen could not hide her feelings on the youngster’s ability to become a major pop heartthrob.

High praise: Pharrell told Evan that he had 'stratospheric' range

The steal: The Voice host Carson Daly announced that Gwen had stolen Riley

Two against one: Identical twins Andi & Alex competed against Chance Pena

‘If I was 15 I’d have Chance’s posters in my locker,’ Gwen insisted, leaving him blushing. ‘I’d be drawing hearts with Chance and Gwen - I’d be losing my mind over you.

‘Obviously you need to stay on the show,' she stated.

Gwen almost had her heart broken when Chance’s coach Adam Levine instead chose the twins over him - but she was thrilled when Blake Shelton buzzed for the steal, keeping the teen in the show, telling him there is ‘something completely magic about your voice’.

Taken away: Chance was stolen by Blake much to Gwen's joy

As thrilled as she was to see the youngsters still in the running, Gwen suggested that it also gave Blake a major advantage in emerging triumphant this season.

‘He’s a heartthrob. Forget about it - you’ve won the show,’ Gwen told Blake.

Blake agreed - though could not help but tease the youngster for his fashion, pointing out that the twins had ‘blown his socks off’ as he was not wearing any.

No socks: The singer skipped the socks for his performance

He's funny: Blake joked that the twins had knocked the socks of Chance

‘We’re going to get you some socks - and we’re going to the finale, man,’ he insisted.

Her gushing for Chance was not Gwen’s only emotional outburst of the battle round - with her also sending a warning shot to her co-stars not to have harsh words against the competitors she most loves.

‘I’m so Mama Bear that when you guys have anything that’s a critique I’m seriously getting p***ed off,’ Gwen warned, despite her rival coaches being mostly encouraging to her hopefuls Korin Bukowski and Chase Kerby.

Feeling protective: Gwen admitted that she didn't like hearing harsh critiques of her singers

As Pharrell pretended to hide from her behind his chair, Gwen then turned on Adam Levine, calling him ‘so wrong’ for suggesting Chase struggled moving between the different sections of their haunting duet on Regina Spektor’s Samson for the battle round.

‘I seriously love Chase and Korin so much,’ Gwen insisted, her hand on her chest and her voice sounding emotional.

‘Like, I’ve never had that feeling on this show before where I feel so protective.’

Hiding out: Pharrell hid behind his chair as Gwen started getting angry

Gwen sounded genuinely moved by their performance.

‘For me music is about emotions and there’s nothing more emotional than what I just heard,’ Gwen insisted.

‘I die for that performance.’

Tough call: Chase Kerby and Korin Bukowski battled it out to Regina Spektor's Samson

Further calling it ‘so intense and awesome’, she told them: ‘Whatever happens for me and my life, you touched me - both of you did. It was incredible.’

But she had to make a choice between them, finally picking Korin, admitting she was ‘pretty devastated’ to lose Chase.

For her other battle, Gwen had schoolboy Braiden Sunshine, 15, perform Howard Jones’s No One Is to Blame along with four-chair-turn Lyndsey Elm, insisting afterwards: ‘I promise there has not been a moment on this show where I have been more confused.’

Moving on: Braiden Sunshine smiled broadly after learning he was remaining on Gwen's team

But she finally picked Braiden, having told him in auditions it is ‘freaky’ that he is so young ‘because you are very instinctual with your emotions.’

‘Yeah, you have this ability to transfix people,’ Gwen’s special adviser Selena Gomez agreed. ‘And I would just encourage that.’

Turning to Gwen, Selena laughed: ‘It made me feel things!’

Guest adviser: Selena Gomez helped Gwen get her singers ready

Helping out: Missy Elliott was back as special adviser to Pharrell

Lyndsey - who Pharrell Williams said had a ‘seductive voice’ - shared a special moment with Selena, showing her a video her brother had taken of her sending her a message of support six years ago.

‘It’s so amazing that six years later I’m standing in a room with Selena Gomez - it was just the coolest moment that I’ll never forget,’ she had said.

Blake had started the night by putting Blind Joe, 33, against Blaine Mitchell, 24, on Bob Seger’s Old Time Rock and Roll Bob Seger, calling them ‘two dudes who leave blood and guts up there’.

Special adviser: John Fogerty was shown helping Adam Levine with his singers

Country stars: Brad Paisley served as Blake's guest adviser

Rock classic: Blaine Mitchell and Blind Joe performed Old Time Rock And Roll during their Battle Round

He also joked about the blind guitarist’s name, asking him: ‘Do I call you Blind Joe? It would be like saying, “Hey, Fat Blake”.’

But Joe had even more laughs when Pharrell asked them after their duet how he was doing.

‘I’m doing great Pharrell - you’re looking good tonight, man,’ he joked.

Good times: Blind Joe had fun with the judges after his performance

Blake called the duet a ‘dead tie’ but ultimately picked Blind Joe, saying later ‘he has something really special’.

Adam then stole Blaine - having earlier compared him to late INXS frontman Michael Hutchence - telling him: ‘You had a thing - I don’t know what it is, but I know I want to figure out what it is.’

He said later: ‘The dude has a vibe that is worth being a part of.’

Stolen away: Blaine was stolen by Adam who told the singer he had a vibe about him

Perhaps the biggest loss of the night came when mother-of-two Cassandra Robertson, 48, lost her battle round to Hungary’s Viktor Király despite high praise from all the coaches.

Calling her ‘effortless’, Pharrell had told her: ‘There was something magical and undeniable about your performance.’

Gwen also called her performance ‘crazy’, insisting: ‘Cassandra you were so meant to be on a stage. I’m blown away, it’s crazy.’

Hard battle: Cassandra Robertson and Viktor Kiraly went against each other

The winner: Viktor was named the winner of the battle

But despite their praise, none of the coaches pressed for the steal when Adam chose Viktor - who was also heartbroken to see her go, insisting: ‘Cassandra is absolutely amazing.’

Cassandra left her daughter wiping away tears before she left as she said: ‘I think I’ve proven to my children that it’s never too late to follow your dreams.’

The Voice returns on Tuesday as the Battle Rounds continue.
